Far Side Reenactments
This Flickr site contains a number of real-life recreations of classic Far Side cartoons.
Superdorks!
So, folks are now dressing up in superhero costumes and trying to fight crime. I think this is one step beyond LARPing. It will be funny and geeky until one of these superdorks get seriously injured or killed. Get a grip, people.

Warcraft Warning
The FCC issued a warning, based on a study, that World of Warcraft addiction can lead to dropping out of college. We should all remember what college is for...excessive drinking and casual sex. If you are going to flunk out of college, at least have some REAL fun.

Truth in Advertising
Unfortunately, the UAW gets off scott-free in this spoof ad. IMHO, the union is as responsible for the failure of the big 3 as the companies themselves.
Remember 8-Track Players?
This was my favorite. I wanted one so bad...but I got a geeky one from Sears. Bummer!
Radios from the 1970s

Greatest Geek Stocking Stuffer...Ever
The folks over at ThinkGeek.com are offering an innovative new product that any real geek would find fascinating. Owl Puke! As you may know, after eating owls do not crap out the leftovers.

I need to get my nephew one of these. Science toys are great!
Megablox Must Die
A Jihad has hit the world of plastic building blocks. Osama Bin Lego recently declared that if Lego is the true faith and Megablox, and to a lesser extent Duplo, must die.
